Nondisp fx of med malleolus of l tibia, 7thD

This code signifies a stable, non-displaced fracture of the medial malleolus in the left ankle that is currently undergoing routine healing. The fracture has been treated conservatively (e.g., casting, bracing) and is not experiencing complications or delayed union. It indicates a follow-up visit after the initial diagnosis and treatment.

Use this code for subsequent encounters where a patient with a previously diagnosed non-displaced left medial malleolus fracture is being monitored for routine healing. This applies to follow-up appointments where the fracture remains closed and is progressing as expected without surgical intervention or complications. It would be appropriate for cast checks or imaging reviews confirming satisfactory healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nondisplaced" and "medial malleolus" of the "left tibia."
• Verify the encounter is "subsequent" and the fracture is "closed" with "routine healing."
• Do not use for initial encounters, open fractures, or those with delayed/nonunion.
